It definitely rained hard there for a few minutes. Don't think the wind was that bad.

Definitely, anything that forms should be north of DSM. DSM is in the dry air now.

Are you saying Des Moines in not in danger of severe weather for the rest of the evening?

Never say never, but the chances look extremely diminished now.

I don't remember my counties as well but seems like they're at the bottom tip of this?

Got 0.7” of rain out of today at least. Hopefully it doesn’t go for another 2 weeks of no rain again.

Rd 2 hitting SW CR right now. Holy downpour Batman.

This line is moving. I’m on the NE side - it got dark like somebody flipped the light switch and then it started pouring and blowing like crazy.

How far north?

Just checked my rain gadge. I got exactly 1 inch in Ankeny so far. Hoping for more tonight, but not looking promising.

Speaking of which … not only am I in a freshly issued tornado watch area (along with the Cedar Rapids NWS radio station being off the air ), I’m planning on tacos tonight.

Assuming my home isn’t swept away by Tornadogeddon Lollapalooza 24, of course.

They’ve started issue warnings when there aren’t actually tornados

“Radar indicated”

 

[KidSilverhair]

Kind of a greenish sky to the northeast as this last line has gone through, but I didn’t see any hail in NE CR.

The threat straight north is gone.
